Re: Soy Confusion?

Can someone please clarify what the difference is between soy protein isolate, Soy Protein Powder and Soy Flour?
Are they interchangeable?
I bought some Soy flour from Capers and wanted to make Wa'il's Low Carb Totilla but I am not sure if I have got the right one.
Also, what do I do with Whey Protein Powder? Is it a supplement I should take? All the packages I saw are huge and I didn't want to buy something that big for a cooking recipe.
Thanks for your help!

Hi Sarly, no they're not interchangable, as they behave quite differently in baking. The soy flour is just soy beans toasted and ground, I think. The soy protein powder and isolate are extracted protien from the soy beans and have lower carb content.
The good new though, is that Capers acyually have them all, and the soy powder they have in the bulk section is the one I used in my tortilla/wrap recipe.
Wa'il
